The direct answer
How this program works.
Portfolio refinance evaluates replacement debt across several rentals. A combined payment is useful only if collateral releases, guarantees and maturity risks also fit the plan.
Compare the alternative
Compare separate loans with one facility using total fees and release provisions.
Illustrative example
If one rental will be sold next year, compare its separate payoff with the proposed blanket-loan release requirement before consolidating.
Important boundaries
- Refinancing can restart amortization.
- A blanket lien may constrain individual property sales.
